Special Activities - Cancelled Due to Rain
Order a native plant bundle for pick-up during the event!
Bundles are pre-designed for small (100 sqft) or medium areas (300 sqft). Small areas might be a 10 x 10 flower bed, a parkway, or side yard (approx. 13 to 20 plants, 5-7 species). A medium area might be a small front yard or a portion of your yard (approx. 32-45 plants, 8-11 species).
No garden? No Problem! Select “Potted Paradise” to get plants for your patio or balcony (approx. 7-12 different plants).
These plants are easy to work with and suitable for most garden conditions. Bundles come with a plant list, planting guide and care instructions. You’ll get the right number of plants to create an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, generally 3 to 5 individuals of each species. We lean on evergreen plants with a few deciduous types mixed in where appropriate.
Order by Sunday, March 24th!
*Bundles must be picked up during the event. We cannot hold them past 12:00 pm on Saturday March 30th.
